spatstat requires data in ppp object form, but there is no way to convert Spatial classes into ppp directly. As such, we must convert them into Spatial objects first:

As the current code gives an error, I have elected to proceed to directly take the sf dataframe and convert it into ppp directly, taking reference from https://www.paulamoraga.com/book-spatial/the-spatstat-package.html:

childcare_ppp = as.ppp(st_coordinates(childcare_sf), st_bbox(childcare_sf))

Handling duplicated points

Check for duplication in ppp object:

any(duplicated(childcare_ppp))
[1] TRUE

We can check for the number of points using multiplicity():

sum(multiplicity(childcare_ppp) > 1)
[1] 128

Plotting this out, we can identify the duplicates by the colour of the dots. The darker dots signals multiple points with the same coordinates:

tm_shape(childcare) + tm_dots(alpha=0.3)

There are 3 techniques to deal with duplicates:

Delete duplicates - May lose some important data

Jittering - Add small perturbation to duplicate points to make them not occupy the exact same space

Marks - Make each point unique and attach duplicates as marks (attributes of the points)

I have applied the jittering approach:

childcare_ppp_jit = rjitter(childcare_ppp, retry = TRUE, nsim = 1, drop = TRUE)
any(duplicated(childcare_ppp_jit))
[1] FALSE

Next, we will convert sg SpatialPolygon object into owin:

sg_owin = as.owin(sg_sf)
plot(sg_owin)

Now, we combine the owin map with the childcare data:

childcareSG_ppp = childcare_ppp[sg_owin]
summary(childcareSG_ppp)
Marked planar point pattern:  1545 points
Average intensity 2.129929e-06 points per square unit

*Pattern contains duplicated points*

Kernel Density Estimation (KDE)

Usage of automatic bandwidth selection method to compute kernel density:

kde_childcareSG_bw = density(childcareSG_ppp, sigma = bw.diggle, edge = TRUE,
                             kernel = "gaussian")
plot(kde_childcareSG_bw)

Retrieving the bandwidth used:

bw = bw.diggle(childcareSG_ppp)
bw
   sigma 
298.4095 

Rescalling KDE values to change meters to kilometers:

childcareSG_ppp.km = rescale.ppp(childcareSG_ppp, 1000, "km")
kde_childcareSG_bw.km = density(childcareSG_ppp.km, sigma = bw.diggle, edge = TRUE,
                                kernel = "gaussian")
plot(kde_childcareSG_bw.km)

Using different bandwidth calculation methods:

bw.CvL(childcareSG_ppp.km)
   sigma 
4.543278 
bw.scott(childcareSG_ppp.km)
 sigma.x  sigma.y 
2.224898 1.450966 
bw.ppl(childcareSG_ppp.km)
    sigma

Comparing diggle vs ppl

kde_childcareSG_ppl.km = density(childcareSG_ppp.km, sigma = bw.ppl, edge = TRUE,
                                kernel = "gaussian")

plot(density(childcareSG_ppp.km, sigma = bw.ppl, edge = TRUE,

Warning in density.ppp(childcareSG_ppp.km, sigma = bw.ppl, edge = TRUE, :

Computing KDE using fixed bandwidth:

kde_childcareSG_600 = density(childcareSG_ppp.km, sigma = 0.6, edge = TRUE, 
                                 kernel = "gaussian")
plot(kde_childcareSG_600)

Computing KDE using adaptive bandwidth:

kde_childcareSG_adaptive = adaptive.density(childcareSG_ppp.km, method = "kernel")
plot(kde_childcareSG_adaptive)

Now we convert the object into a grid object for mapping:

gridded_kde_childcareSG_bw <- as(kde_childcareSG_bw.km, "SpatialGridDataFrame")
spplot(gridded_kde_childcareSG_bw)

Convert gridded kernal density objects into RasterLayer object:

kde_childcareSG_bw_raster = raster(gridded_kde_childcareSG_bw)
kde_childcareSG_bw_raster

Nearest Neighbour Analysis

We are using the Clark-Evans test <clarkevans.test()> to perform a test on the data. The hypotheses are as follows:

Ho = The distribution of childcare services are randomly distributed.

H1= The distribution of childcare services are not randomly distributed.

The 95% confident interval will be used.

Usage of the Monte Carlo test to test the random distribution of childcare services in CCK and Tampines.

Ho = The distribution of childcare services at Choa Chu Kang are randomly distributed.
